Site work for a water / sewer project in Frederick, Maryland. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The purpose of this project is to analyze the capacity of the existing culverts under North Market Street on Detrick Branch and develop and implement measures to alleviate the roadway flooding. This roadway is a major north-south arterial roadway and safe passage on it during flooding events is critical for first responders. The point of interest in this study is Detrick Branch at North Market Street. The study area for the hydrologic analysis is the Detrick Branch watershed. This watershed is approximately 0.96 square miles (614 acres) to its confluence with the Monocacy River. The drainage area to the point of interest is 0.68 square miles (435 acres) of highly urbanized land. Numerous residential and commercial developments are present in the watershed, and approximately one-third of the watershed is Fort Detrick. The study area for the hydraulic analysis is Detrick Branch from its confluence with the Monocacy River to downstream of a railroad approximately 450 feet upstream of North Market Street. The total studied reach is approximately 0.53 miles. Deliverables associated with this project are: A study of the drainage basin to with recommended options for design and associated cost estimates (COMPLETE) Designs for the selected recommended improvements including Construction Documents and Specifications ready for bid (FY23) Acquisition of required rights-of-way or easements (FY23) Acquisition of required permits (FY23) Construction of selected recommended improvements (FY24) The project is included in the City's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of July 23, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
